I need serious fashion help…engagement photos!

So, this is kind of sad but a true story. I am already legally married but everything was done quickly. We never did engagement photos or had any kind of ceremony. We are doing both of those things next year because we love pictures and are sad we overlooked them.

Now, I am not a girly girl and that is putting it lightly. I wear whatever I feel like wearing and what is comfortable. For my engagememt photos, I’d like to wear something nice though whether it is what I would have normally chosen or not.

What would you wear for engagement photos in a vineyard? It will be in the summer.

@adoc86: He will probably wear jeans…that’s all he ever wears, lol. I do like that white dress and it would give me the opportunity to test out my spray tan that I will have for the wedding. If it turns orange, then maybe it’s a bad idea 😀

@bebero: I am very fair with (dyed) blonde hair. I will have my airbrush make-up and wedding spray tan though…I want to test it out beforehand and put my trial to good use. I am tall and what I consider fat, though I’m told I’m not. I wear a size 10/12 but am working hard to lose weight. I fully intend to be skinny by next year. I can walk in heels, but I prefer not to 😛

Also – this isn’t an engagement shoot – you already were engaged and married. Yay! Let’s call it a love shoot – because that’s what it is. And, if you are planning on having another ceremony/party – that’d be a vow renewal and celebration. Nothing wrong with that – embrace it!!

@MrsPanda99: I have engagement pics in 2 weeks and I plan to wear a solid colored sun dress, then jeans and a dark top. However, its accessorizing that I struggle with. I’m not skinny, so I have to layer to make myself look slimmer, so I’m going to need to pair both outfits with cardigans and jewellery that take the attention of my problem areas. (stay tuned for that post lol) I’d go for something fun and flirty, and something casual so you have a nice mix of both. My FI will likely wear jeans in both sets. Maybe a more dressy shirt when I have my dress on.

@MrsPanda99: what about something layered like a nice summer dress with wedges and maybe a cardigan or a blazer that you can remove for some pictures and leave on for others, that way you get the wardrobe change without having to duck behind a vine to actually change!

Maybe something like this gal is wearing?

Or, if you don’t like dresses all that much and want to be more casual, a flowy, solid color top with some dark skinny or bootleg jeans and a big, chunky necklace might look nice… something like this:

OR, you could go the tank+ maxi skirt route, which would be really appropriate for a vineyard shoot in the summer!
